Funny Air Pictures

King of Air Guitar Rocks Out. A good tune, a good sound, and some good moves make everyone a solo star - of air guitar. Personally, I play air drums and air keyboards as well. Respectably. Not world class, but not bad. Member reactions:

Colors jump at you, with great mix of nice and bizarre.

Great job. Love the trophy with the air bubble

This rocks. Love your comment about playing the air drums and keyboards. I do that sometimes, but not too good

Seat belts weren't standard equipment back when this photo was taken. Member reactions:

I really like what you have done here Did you color the original.

The foreground pic was bw. The plane and background pics were color to start but I converted them to bw. Then added color tints to all.

Kewl. No seat-belts back then. But they already had Air-brakes.

Outstandingly cool LunaC, it gives one a sense of vertigo, huh. That is real pearls when you can pull that off. Nice retro vintage feel as well. Congrats, one of your best and certainly in my top Freaky Chop list.

Congrats on the gold, Luna. I love your vintage style chops.

Congrats on the Gold cup, to Freak Show. Very very well done, nice work.

The hot air balloon is the oldest technology of human-carrying flight. Invented in 1782 by the Montgolfier brothers in France, hot air balloons became a huge sensation and an instant commercial success. The Montgolfier brothers specialized in paper manufacturing with their "The Montgolfier Company" at the time. After they invented, patented, and successfully tested their first hot air balloon, they started producing them for their clients. Though hot air balloons were an expensive luxury to afford (averaging about $120,000 in today's money) the Montgolfiers could hardly keep up with the demand for "the flying wonder". The Montgolfier Company still exists in France today, but since it changed hands numerous times it was renamed the "Canson-Montgolfier" and has nothing to do with hot air balloons any more. The company still specializes in paper production just like in its founding days, and produces a wide range of fine art prints and photography prints.

Air Force One made a lot of buzz this week. The director of the White House military office, Louis Caldera, took the blame for sending Air Force One to fly alarmingly low over the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan, and New Jersey - just for some fancy photo-shoots, costing taxpayers over $300,000. The money was not be biggest issue in this incident - unannounced and flying dangerously low Air Force One caused massive terror scare in Manhattan and New Jersey causing thousands of offices evacuated. Obama said he found out about the incident only after it happened, admitted it was a mistake and launched an investigation on who and how authorized this photoshoot. "It will never happen again", said Obama. "Nice photos though".
